Application of Wavelet Analysis for Examining Climate and Meltwater Runoff in the Paakitsoq Region, West Greenland
Land-terminating areas of the Greenland ice sheet have experienced significant mass loss over the last two decades, and a feedback between surficial meltwater production, resultant basal lubrication and ice-sheet flow velocity during the summer ablation season has been suggested as an explanation. …

Modelling meltwater drainage in the Paakitsoq region, western Greenland, and its response to 21st century climate change
… the supraglacial and subglacial hydrology of the Paakitsoq region in western Greenland to provide an insight into present-day dynamic behaviour of the ice sheet, and its potential response to climatic warming over the 21st century. Surface meltwater production and routing for 2005 are simulated …

Supraglacial lake evolution on the Greenland Ice Sheet
… on the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet around Paakitsoq, north of the Jakobshavn Isbrae outlet glacier. The lakes are ephemeral, drain through moulins or crevasses at their bed throughout the melt season, and deliver large volumes of water to the subglacial hydrological system. Such inputs of …

Climate and pro-glacial discharge interactions in the Pakitsoq region of Western Greenland.
… of meltwater discharge was established for the Paakitsoq basin, Western Greenland and analysed statistically. The hydrological response of the basin changes through time during the spring and summer due to the variations in net radiation and air temperatures but also in snow cover, rainfall and …

Modelling the impact of surface melt on the hydrology and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet
… hydrology model is calibrated in the Paakitsoq region. Model output shows the partitioning of melt between different drainage pathways and the spatial distribution of surface drainage. Melt season intensity is found to be a relevant factor for both. A key challenge for simulations …

Modelling the Hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet
… model which is applied to the ~2,300 km2 Paakitsoq region, West Greenland, and is driven, calibrated, and evaluated using measured data. The model consists of three components. First, net runoff is calculated across the ice sheet from a distributed, surface energy- balance melt model …

Remote sensing of rapidly draining supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet
… algorithm is applied to the land-terminating Paakitsoq and marine-terminating Store Glacier regions of west Greenland to investigate the incidence of rapid lake drainage in summer 2014. The validation and application of the FAST algorithm show that lake areas and volumes (using a …
